Jeffery Barrow

Building frameworks for better understanding of the intricate processes that govern life, Dr. Jeffery Barrow is an Associate Professor in the Cell Biology and Physiology Department at Brigham Young University. His academic journey is marked by a profound dedication to unraveling the complexities of developmental biology, with a particular focus on gene expression and organogenesis. Dr. Barrow's research is pivotal in exploring how genes orchestrate the three-dimensional formation of organs, especially within the embryonic vertebrate limb. Dr. Barrow's work delves into the fascinating world of signaling pathways, where he investigates the role of Wnt signaling in the vertebrate ectoderm. His research aims to elucidate the mechanisms by which these pathways influence cellular behavior and contribute to the development of complex structures. By understanding these processes, Dr. Barrow hopes to shed light on the fundamental principles that govern organ development and regeneration. At Brigham Young University, Dr. Barrow is not only a dedicated researcher but also an inspiring educator. He is committed to mentoring the next generation of scientists, fostering a collaborative environment where students can engage in cutting-edge research. Through his teaching and research, Dr. Barrow continues to contribute significantly to the fields of developmental biology and immunology, pushing the boundaries of knowledge and innovation.
